After getting on Xu Jie, everything was convenient, and I finally didn’t have to ride a donkey.

Several women also got on the carriage, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

The three women were still disguised, only Liu Zhiyi. In order to disguise, they had to reveal their true faces, so Xu Jie did not recognize a few people. He thought that the couple he brought with him, Liu Zhiyi, was not very troublesome and did not explore.

Along the way, the two rode horses side by side, and the horses were requisitioned from nearby stations, and so were carriages.

When old friends meet, there are endless things to say.

After reminiscing about the past, Xu Jie was filled with emotion when talking about the current situation.

I lamented that the people in Lingnan are rude and Nantian County is another county with more women and fewer men. There are more than a dozen cases of murdering their own husbands just now.

"Why don't Brother Xu find another way out?"

Liu Zhiyi asked.

Xu Jie was the legitimate grandson of Xu Qian, a famous minister. Xu Qian was born and an old official all over the world. It was easy for him to find a way to transfer him.

Xu Jie shook his head: "How can you give up halfway? You have to change customs and customs under the downward trend!"

People in the Central Plains are always prejudiced to the people in other places, always thinking that the people in other places are rough and want to educate the people in other places.

Liu Zhiyi sighed: "It is easy to change dynasties, but it is difficult to change customs and customs!"

Xu Jie nodded: "There are already a school everywhere. In time, we will definitely change customs."

This is a long process, but the school is always good. Lingnan, a place with abundant material per capita, lacks manpower and has the conditions to improve per capita quality.

"Brother Xu, I have to stick to it for a long time!"

"One official position will benefit the people."

As we chatted, we arrived at a small town, it was already dark. We rested at the inn in the town.

The inns and official roads in Nantian County are basically based on the Jinchuan River, and there is only one line along the river, which is considered a good place. The hilly areas to the south are really hard. After only ten years of development, 500,000 people sweated and could develop fields, but the infrastructure was backward and the materials were difficult to enter and exit. The road conditions were very poor, so donkey riding was popular.

Under such conditions, Xu Jie actually sent school officials to every pavilion, requiring every child to study. If the pavilion fails to complete the task, he will be severely punished. He has only been in Nantian County for a year, and his official voice is already very bad, and his colleagues are scolded as a gentleman.

In addition to his educational achievements, Xu Qian continued to recruit people's efforts and build various water conservancy facilities. Even in the hilly areas of Lingnan, there was no shortage of water. He dug many mountain ponds to allow a large number of terraced fields between hills to be watered, and also built 30-mile sea ponds, which allowed the flat land in the Haikou area to be often poured back by seawater. The promotion of the mulberry fish pond that is popular in Jiangnan here was a complete failure.

It’s not that the mulberry fish pond model is not good, but this model also consumes manpower. Fish ponds raise fish, plant lotus roots, water chestnuts, and mulberry trees need fertile soil. The pond mud in the fish pond can be used for fertilization. The fertilizer comes from fish manure, and the silkworm pupae of mulberry silkworms are the best fish food. The mulberry fish pond is almost a perfect ecological cycle. Unfortunately, digging pond mud is very hard and requires young and strong labor. Jiangnan has the largest county in the world, with a population of 80 million, and it is least lacking in labor. Therefore, mulberry fish ponds are very efficient. Lingnan lacks labor, so it is better to be professional than to build mulberry fish ponds.

Liu Zhiyi talked to Xu Jie for a long time and found that he had not made much money in economics. Although he wanted to work hard, he could not grasp the key points. Xu Jie learned Confucianism and always looked down on business and could not do well in the economy. This is a common problem of Confucianism.

Fortunately, although the Sanji Fish Pond failed, it hugged the 30-mile flat beach along the coast and preserved hundreds of thousands of acres of paddy fields. The agricultural production of Nantian County was developed in the hands of Xu Jie. The Donghai Business Group, which is good at ease, built a port in Nantian County based on the sea pond. Now the Haikou area is becoming increasingly prosperous.

Liu Zhiyi subtly enlightened Xu Jie. He dared not persuade him directly, nor did he dare to teach him in a good tone. Because there are many problems in Confucianism, they have a strong sense of mission, they have a heart for the world, and have a sense of family and country. The disadvantage is that they do not listen to advice, and always think that they are right and have a lot of big principles.

The guidance effect was not very good. Liu Zhiyi used Yingjun and Nanhuang who had seen him on the road as an example. When he told him how the wealthy merchants in Lingnan could make money every day, Xu Jie sneered and told him how Yingjun could gradually improve the status quo based on the strong operational indicators of finance and taxation, Xu Jie only felt that Yingjun was too far from Lingnan, otherwise he could immigrate widely.

Liu Zhiyi had no doubts. No matter what the court thought, Xu Jie would definitely dare to immigrate secretly.

When Liu Zhiyi was chatting with Xu Jie, Princess Jinchuan broke in inappropriately. She claimed that she was Liu Zhiyi's cousin and married to Lingnan. Xu Jie had no doubts, so she started with Princess Jinchuan asking about Beitian County, and the three of them turned their topics to the governor of Beitian County and Lingnan East County.

Xu Jieshu was arrogant and straightforward, and defamed the Jiedushi of Dongjun. He believed that many things in Lingnan Dongjun were ruined by the Jiedushi.

The governor of Dongjun was the second generation Sima Zhong. This man also practiced Confucianism, but Xu Jie looked down on this man at all. He believed that Sima Zhong had no talent to govern the country and was only qualified to be a pavilion chief. The reason why he looked down on Sima Zhong was because the population of Lingnan Dongjun had withered since Sima Zhong came to power.

Ten years ago, Lingnan had a population of five million, while Dongjun occupied three million. As a result, ten years later, the population of Dongjun was only 2.8 million. A forced relocation of Daze County caused the loss of 300,000 people.

Speaking of Beitian County, Sima Zhong's Jiedushi Yamen was located in Beitian County. The Sima family was a hereditary Jiedushi. He did not want to build it well, but instead plundered it. Half of Beitian County was all from the Sima family, the Sima family on the riverside dock of Beitian County, and the coastal salt fields of Beitian County were from the Sima family. Even the largest fleet of Beitian County was from the Sima family. The dignified Jiedushi family did not want to be based on the people, value agriculture and suppress commerce, but instead did business by themselves and competed for profit with the people!

As the princess was a good person to provoke trouble, Xu Jie revealed all the bad policies of Beitian County and the Jiedushi Office.

"The Sima family still maintains a disciple?"

Princess Jinchuan asked knowingly.

Xu Jie snorted coldly: "Hmph! As a general in the border town, he raised his disciples and soldiers, what do you mean?"

The princess said: "Maybe the shogunate is short."

Xu Jie said: "What do you want so many warriors in the shogunate to do?"

The shogunate is an auxiliary staff to officials, similar to a secretary, and is generally a literati.

The princess said: "Maybe the governor is selfless and offended too many people, and needs the protection of warriors."

Xu Jie snorted: "He is selfless? Who doesn't know that Sima Zhong has formed a party for personal gain, and has handed over to the governor of Lingnan County and climbed up to the dynasty's grand tutor."

Liu Zhiyi felt that the princess was trying to get Xu Jie's words step by step, so he guided Xu Jie to curse and quickly stopped him.

"Brother Xu. Be careful of the ears of the wall. Slandering Shangguan is a big taboo!"

Xu Jie said he was excited, just like he was drunk: "There are ears in the walls, what am I afraid of?"

The princess smiled slightly and finally stopped talking.

Liu Zhiyi felt that someone left outside the station gate.
